Should have carried the gable through at least some parts of the interior instead of flat ceilings. Otherwise pretty cool.

BZD makes nice homes but this is just obscene; the houses isolated from the street in front of a bed of concrete #CarStorage

How did this pass inspection? The front steps are not up to code. If there are more than three steps, you’re required to have a railing.

Also, agree about the bed of concrete. They could at least have used a permeable surface and/or installed a lickety-lube driveway.

Nothing like a fish-eye lens to make a shotgun house look spacious.

If anything, the aerial photo is more bizarre.
This block has a narrow pavement width, maybe 20 ft or so, but probably a much larger RoW. So the “driveway” goes from the edge of the paved street, to what appears to be a sidewalk to and from nowhere (there are no sidewalks on this block, so these 50-ft of sidewalk are totally useless), then deep enough after the sidewalk to accommodate the city-mandated two off-street parking spaces.
What the city SHOULD do here: recognize that the 20-ft paved surface is a shared space between cars and pedestrians, and forget the idea of requiring a sidewalk. Then they can allow the homeowner to use the additional RoW as head-in parking to accommodate the required two spaces, and allow a zero front setback. That would allow the structures to move forward 40 ft, and give each house 1000 sf of backyard.

Wealthy hipster housing.
Overpriced
I like it for $100/psf. Cheap appliances, cheap windows, cheap tile. Cheap. $150,000 tops.

Over-price much?

Is there not even a garage?

“recognize that the 20-ft paved surface is a shared space between cars and pedestrians, and forget the idea of requiring a sidewalk. ”
If you go that route and they fully utilize the two spaces, they block the “sidewalk”. So all win for the home owner, loss for anyone trying to use the sidewalk.

If you’re gonna expose the lavatory drain pipe, splurge on the $15 extra bucks and make it chrome. Those are the little details that when skipped, make me worry about the larger details that were skipped. Also this is $300k for basically a studio space on a teeny lot with no covered parking. Not sure how it retains value unless area prices skyrocket continually for 10 more years.

updated listing photos show a more complete picture…pretty cool!

“Dude” must be the RE agent. The listing photos are all distorted and stretched to make it look bigger than it really is. But hey, they knocked a whopping $111 (0.04%) off the listing price!

An organic chemist would call these enantiomers, not twins. They are mirror images.

Huh, I’d have guessed they were more like stereo isomers.
